MadamDegrassi Chapter One God must be punshing me! Clare thought to herself monday morning. It was the first day back to school after winter break and you'll never guess whos comming back to Degrassi, want a hint? FITZ! Clare had been informed by principle simpson last week, and so had ELi. Lets just say he didnt take the news well. They had spent the last week in his room, tring to make the mess dissapear. Not to mention the whole time they were doing it, Eli was complaning about Simpson and what he wanted to do to Fitz. Clare couldnt help but be annoyed, she hated him to but, come on, a week of complaning was all she could handle. She walked outside to the black Herst with Eli waiting outside the car to open her door. He smiled when he saw what she was wearing. It is what she wore the first time they kissed. They got in the car and took off. "Ready for today?" Eli asked clare in a small voice. "Yep, just another ordinary day, right? I mean if you call seeing face to face with someone who tried to kill you a few months ago." She said looking at him fermly. "Right." he said as they pulled in the school parking lot. Thats when she saw him. Tall, black spiky hair with his "gangsta" clothse on, but for some reason he looked-diffrent. He was just satnding there with his hands in his pockets away from everyone. He almost looked-sad. Eli and Clare both got out of the car and headed to the school enterance. "Wait. I think, one of us should go talk to him." clare said the words slowly. "Who? Fitz, are you insane." he exclamed. "Come on, if you dont want to, i will, just wait here." She said. ''Clare..." he began but she already left. she walked to him slowly, looking back at eli only once. She finaly got to him, his head was down and his hood on. "So, your back." she had startled him, he looked up at her, a little confused. "Guess so." he said, then there was a long pause. "Listen, about Vegas Night, Iwasnt, I didnt, I never planned on hurting him. What happened was, i only brough the knif to scare him, and i was not gonna even do it unless he messed with me. Then you got him to apologise so i figure i didnt need to do it, but then the drink thing and i was pissed and-well you know the rest." he said it all so fast, that she could barly make it all out. She though for a minute, then spoke. "fitz, i realy dont care about you excuses, or you explinatoins, what you did was, stupid, careless, wrong and juvinial. I just came over here to tell you to SAY AWAY from Eli and Adam, and if you dont i will make up some story to get you draged back to juvy, because i really dont care what happens to you." she said the words, but truly didnt mean them. She did care, she did feel bad that he got put in juvy, but what he did was wrong and disgusting. "I know you dont," he began then half smiled, "No one does." he said and then the bell rang and he took off. Confused about accually feeling sorry for him, she headed back to Eli to head to english.
Chapter Two Part One Clare and eli walked down the halls to english getting there only a few minutes before the final bell rang. Then the bell rang, then came the big problems. This year, Clare, Eli, KC, Adam, and, yes, Fitz, were all in the same class. Sence Clare was a honnor student and sence KC became a honnor student agen, after him and Jenna broke up, they were both in Junior classes. Clare and Eli sat next to eachother in the back of the room, infront of Clare was KC, infront of Eli was Adam and on the other side of Clare was Fitz. They all sat 'nice and cozy' in the back corner. KC was uncomfortable because he liked Clare agen, Clare, Eli and Adam were uncomfortable because of Fitz, and Fitz was uncomfortable because of Eli and Clare but mostly Clare. Before things went down at Vegas Night Fitz accualy started to like Clare, of coarse until he almost hacked her boyfriend to pieces. was on meternity leave and there was a new teacher, . He was a layied back kind of teacher. After a few uncomfortable and aquward minutes, he finsly began class. "Hello, everyone, my name is , I thought that we'd start off the school year with a nice and easy assignment. We are going to be performing and recording scenes from clasic books. I will make the teaams and assign the parts. The rest is up to you. Please work on this all this week, we will be showing them this friday. Sence we have long block, (1hr and 45min.) you can get started today. So lets see, Eli Goldsworthy and Adam Torrez, KC and Jess, Oscar and Don and Mark Fitz and Clare Edwards." They teacher assigned, they sll looked at eschother, but Eli was 'killing' Fitz with looks and Clare was in the middle. "Ok why dont you all move to a good spot in the room with your partner and i will be over to give you your scene." the teacher demanded and they all did so. Clare and Fitz walked over to the window and Eli was tring to stay close, but he wasnt exactly in hearing range, just sight. The teacher strode over to Clare and Fitz. "Okay you two will be doing, Romeo and Ruilet, and act 4 scene 8." Clare was sick with shock and Fitz was confused. She began to speek, "You do know what scene that is right?" "No" he said and shook his head. "Its, the kissing-scene." she said slowly. Fitz eyes widdened, but inside he was...happy. "I'll be right back." she said and went over to Eli. "Hows it going?" he asked her. "Accualy thats what I came over to talk to you about...we got...Romeo and Juliet." she said, but he didnt get it. "Oh? well we got Taming of the Shrew." Eli said. "Fun" Adam added. "We got act 4 scene-"but he cut her off "Eight?" he said slowly and sadly. She nodded her head. Elis face was hard and stern. 'If looks could kill' Is all Clare could think...
TO BE CONTINUED...
Chapter Two Part Two Clare had spent the whole night on the phone with Eli trying to calm him down. You see, he didnt want her to do the assignment with Fitz but if she didnt she would fail the assignment, you know how Clare is with grades. She finaly convinced him to let her do it even though it was killing him. Then next day at school Clare and Fitz went outside to shoot the scene.
"Okay well lets get this over with." Clare said in a annoyed voice. "If you dont want to do it, we dont have to." Fitz said in a small voice. "No way im failing the project, lets just get started, do you have your script?" she asked him and he held it up. she nodded and they started. They read through the first page of lines perfectly. Then it was time, Clare said the last line befroe the kiss and Fitz moved in, his lips were inches away from hers, his breathing became unsteady, then there lips became closer, then Clare drew away and kissed his cheek. They both parted. Clare went to stop the camera and Fitz sat down. "All finshed?" he asked with uneasy breathing. "Ya, we should head inside, grab the camera would you?" she asked. He got the camera and they both headed back to class before they went into the room Fitz said one last sentence, "By far the best kiss, i have ever had." and he went inside. Friday rolled around and they had to present there tapes to the class. Eli hadn't known if clare had kissed him or not. They had not talked much about it, i dont think he wanted to know. "Ok Clare and Fitzgerald, your turn." , said outloud to the class. Clare got up and poped in the DVD and the projector, projected it onto the whiteboard. The title said ROMEO AND JUILET BY CLARE EDWARDS AND MARK FITZGERALD, the black fadded and Clare and Fitz were outside, the kiss scene came and everyone tenced, Especially Eli, his hand curled into a fist went the became closer and closer, then she kissed him, on the cheek. Elis hands relaxed, his whol body cooled down, he looked at clare. "You didnt do the scene?" he asked happily, "Of coarse not, your the only one I kiss." she said playfuly, and took her hand. Fitz was looking at them from accross the room. Wondering why he couldnt have that, wondering why he couldnt be happy, in love, loved. A year ago all he wanted was revenge, on the world. Now all he wanted was love and peace with the world. And more then anything he wanted her, blue eyed, long brown hair that was styled so that her bangs were curved around her face, beautiful, kind...Clare.
Chapter Three Saturday Clare and Eli went to their special place in the woods. They walked for awile not saying anything, until they got deep in the woods. They sat down on a blanket that Eli had put there earlier. Then they began to kiss. His lips moved with hers like they were two puzzle pieces fit perfectly together. They usualy did not kiss like this, or for this long. Eli began to undo the button on her shirt but Clare stopped him, and pulled far back. "What are you doing?" she sadi in a confused voice. He answerd nerviously, "I just...i thought...im sorry." he said starting to move away. Clsre got up, "I thought you said you were ok with it." she said in a stiff tone. "I am i just got cought up in the moment, im sorry, i wasnt thinking." he said apologiticaly. " he walked closer to her and kissed her cheek, "Im sorry." he said. "Lets go, to the carmival on sunday together, just the two of us. We need some us...time." he prompted. "Sounds 'Magnifque'" she said and they began kissing again. Sunday Fitz got out of bed, well more like rolled out of bed, all he could think about was Clare. Then all he could think about was never getting to have her, never kissing her, never being her 'Eli'. He went to his bedroom wall and pulled a thumb tack out. He rolled up his sleve and five scars appered. He took the thmb tack and pushed it in pain flew up his arm and down. Then he did it again, then twice more. He left his room and headed to the kitchen. "Hi, sweety.." his mother began but he cut her off. "I got to go, no time for food." he said and then left the house.
Great, friggin great. He thought to himself when he got to the fair and saw Eli and Clare in line for the ferris wheel. He thought for a minute and then he went over to the ticket taker. e pulled him of to the side. "Hey man!" the guy said. "Look heres fourty dollars, make sure i end up on that farris wheel with her." he said and pointed to Clare. The guy took the money and got back to work. Fitz got in line a few behind Eli and clare. It was finaly Eli and Clares turn. "Alrighty step right up." Clare got in and eli was about to but he got stopped. "today were doing a special promotion. Everyone has to go on with a stranger. You there!" he pointed to fitz. fitz walked over and got in. "What no way come on Clare." Eli said but it was to late. the ride started moving. eli was furious. "Hey boozo, put me on the next one." he siad. The ticket taker scoffed and sent eli away. Eli sat down at the closest benched and waited. Watching, waiting, frequently cussing, and steaming.
Chapter Four Clares POV
"What the hell!" I yelled at the skys. Fitz just rolled his eyes. "Why did you even get on?" I asked him. "I Just wanted to talk to you." he said pleadingly. "Wait, you made the insane ticket taker do this?" I asked him. He just looked down and rubbed him arm. "Why are you rubbing your arm?" I asked he must have not ment to do it because his eyes poped out. "I um... hit it on the um..." he tried to say something but I could tell it wasn't the truth. "Let me see, is it bad?" I asked feeling baad he was hurt. I grabbed his arm and he tried to pull it away, but it was too late, i gasped.
